Kings of fin ance, heads of trust and savings in stitutions by hundreds rubbed elbows today with minor officials of the va rious banks in the preliminaries for the American Bankers' association, which formally convenes tomorrow. One of the principal meetings to day was a conference on the question of uniform bills of lading, a subject of deep import to the bankers. Bills of lading are often used as a basis of credit by the customers of the banks and the bankers are anxious that they be placed on a safe basis so that as negotiable instruments they may be handled by bankers without risk." The bankers have already approved the form of bills of lading authorized by the interstate commerce commis sion and seek to establish it by law in the different states. A resolution calling on the dele gates to urge in their se-veral states the passage of a uniform bill of ladinir'law was adonted. Another res olution adopted recommended to the main convention that congress be petitioned to iiass a federal uniform bill of lading act. The federal legislative committee decided to report adversely on guar antee banks and against postal sav ings banks, substituting in place of these measures a recommendation for the adoption of a savings bank de partment in national banks. The savings bank plan for national banks contains a proposition for the segre gation. The annual convention of the Na tional association of supervisors of ptate banks was held today. Pierre Jay, president of the association, de livered his annual address. The committee on uniform stati banking laws and uniform classification of banks reported that the law com mittee of the savings bank section of the American Bankers' association has adopted the principle of the segregation and proper investment of savings de posits as its legislative programme: also that a considerable number of supervisors of state banks recommend ed to their respective legislatures the enactment of legislation along this line. The committee recommending thai a ftatnding law committee be created to assist in carrying out the legislative policies of the association. Questions of wide import to bank ers and all interested in financial matters were discussed. Plans of the convention include a banquet in hon or og President Taft. The fact that a government cur rency commission was authorized by the last congress to make an investi gation of the financial machinery of this country, and to suggest such re forms as are thought to be needful has aroused all over the nation the in terest of the men who make it their business to handle other folk's sav ings and the indications now are that the convention here will be seized upon as an occasion for the airing of Views along lines likely to be taken up by the commission and the crystalliz ing of some of the sentiment express ed into recommendations which the commission will be asked to take up. 7,000 Country Bankers Expected. The fact, too, that there will be a great crop to move this fall has turn ed the faces of the country bankers of the great grain fields of the west and middle west Chicago ward. They will come here looking for an oppor tunity to form connections with big ger banks that will enable them to obtain the money to finance the traf fic of their localities. It is expected that at least 7.000 country bankers and their friends will be in the city for the convention. i The first day of the convention is devoted to the reception of the visiting bankers. There are regis tration committees at the Auditorium and Congress hotels and other com mittees will be at hand to see that the bankers obtain the proper hotel facilities. During that dav there-will be committee meetings at the Audi torium and Congress and in the even ing the hankers of Chicago will en tertian the executive council of the association at a banquet at the Congress- hotel.

KILLED BY A LION. Former Junction City Woman Died as Result of Her Injuries. San Jose, Cal., Sept. 13. Miss Isola Kennedy, president of the San Mantoe and Santa Clara bicounty W. C. T. lT.. died from injuries received in a desperate encounter with a mountain lion, near Madrone Springs, on July 4, when she fought with the beast for half an hour to save the lives of two small boys. One of the boys died later of lockjaw. On the 4th of last July Miss Ken i:edy attended a picnic with a number Upper Left G. 31. Reynolds, Presi dent Bankers' Association. Upper right Fred E. JFarnsworth, Secre tary Association, and at bottom, CJoveraor Deneen, who makes ad dress of welcome. of relatives and friends up -in the mountains. After eating their noon lunch, Miss Kennedy and a few small children strolled away some distance from the rest of the party. It was while they were thus separated that a large lion leaped from a tree, pouncing upon Miss Kennedy. The children fled in confusion and ran for help. It was nearly half an hour before any men from the party could arrive upon the scene. The first man to arrive shot the lion, but Miss Kennedy was found to be terribly mangled and in an unconscious condi tion. The entire left side of the body was lacerated by the teeth and claws of the infuriated animal. She was taken to a hospital. The animal was one of the largest ever seen in this state, measuring a trifle over nine feet. Miss Kennedy is a former Junction City, Kan., girl. She lived there for several years with her mother, but had lived at Morgan Hill, Cal., for some time. RUINED PLATE GLASS. Kansas City Mun Does $5,000 Dam age With Small Diamond. Kansas City, Sept. 13. A man with a small diamond on the little finger of his rterht hand walked down Main street last night from Thirteenth to Fifth street. When he had finished his stroll he had done damage that may reach $5,000. Edward Clark, a Gamewell operator, followed him the greater part of his destructive way. but did nothing except watch until he reached the City hall, when he re ported that a man was cutting plate glass windows. Herman Hartmann. p. patrolman, arrested the vandal while he was cut ting a window at 17 East Fifth street. At police headquarters the man gave the name of James E. Stivers and said he worked for twenty years as a candy maker for the Loose-Wiles Company. The diamond with which he did the cutting was an eighth carat stone. Sixty-six windows were cut. Stivers started his cutting at Thir teenth street, where a glazed monu ment in front of the Rice Monument Works attracted him. After making a few scratches on the stone, he started for the windows of the Jones Dry Goods Company. There he cut seven windows and two doors. At the Walkover Shoe Company? 1005 Main street, he stopped long enough to cut the initials "J. E. At the Kansas City Butchers' Supply Company. 607 Main street. Stivers cut his name in glass. This was his explanation at po lice headquarters: "I was just walking along and swinging my arms. Of course, the diamond hit the windows and cut them. I guess, but I didn't mean to cut them." In some windows the glass was only scratched. In others it was cut so deeply that a tap would have brok en the pane. Weather Indications. Chicago, Sept. 13.

Question of Electing President U. P. System Not Discussed. AN OPERATING MAN. That Is What the New Head of System Will Be. Win. Rockefeller and Jacob Schiff on the Board. New Tork, Sept. 13. The board of di- xectors today elected ex-Judge S. Lov ctt, chairman of the executive com' mittee tp succeed Mr. Harriman. The matter of electing a president of the Union Pacific svstem was not dis cussed at the meeting, ,but it is ex pected the next head of the road will be an operating man. The executive committee as at present constituted is composed of the following: Robert S. Lovett. chairman; Henry C. Frick, Marvin Hughitt. Frank A. Van derlip, William Rockefeller and Jacob Schiff. William Rockefeller and Jacob H. Schiff, wore elected directors of the Union Pacific Railway company, today succeeding Henry H. Rogers and Ed ward H. Harriman. They were a!s appointed members of the executive committee. Robert Scott Lovett. who has just been elected to succeed the late Mr. Harriman as chairman of the executive committee of the system was general picked by the financial interests- as the logical successor to Mr. Harriman. His election will occasion no surprise. The new Harriman chairman is a comparatively young man, being only 4P years of age. He was born in San Jacinto, Texas, June 22. I860. His early education was received in the public schools of his town and in the Houston high school. This was followed by pri vate instruction and self education. He n.astered the fundamentals of the. legal profession and was admitted to the bar December 22, 1S82. This was at Houston where he opened a law office, in which he was successful fro mthe start. He acquired a large practice in civil suits and later his work attracted such at tention that he was appointed attorney for the Houston. East West Texas railroad. He held this positicn from 1884 until 1889, at which time he re signed to accept the position of general attorney, for the Texas Pacific road. I his position he held for two years. In 1891 he went to Dallas where he became a member of the law firm of Baker. Potts, Baker Lovett, South ern Pacific attorneys. On January 1 1904, he became general attorney for the Southern Facific lines in Texas. Two years later he was promoted by Mr. Harriman as general counsel lor the Union Pacific. Southern Pacific and all affiliated iines, which position he reld until the death of Mr. Harriman. He is also president of the Houston Texas Centra: railway. Judge Robert S. Ixivett, Who Succeeds Harriman as Chairman of the Harriman Executive Committee. Mr, Lovett was married in Houston, October 29, 1890, to Miss Lavinia Abercrombie of Huntsville, 'Texas. The new chairman of the Harriman lines, like Mr. Harriman, is of small stature and of a wiry build. Mr. Lovett is exceedingly slender and weighs but 120 pounds. .He has always ranked with the topnotchers in the legal pro fession and was Mr. Harriman's chief counsel and advisor. During the sick ness of the late magnate, he was in constant touch with Mr. Harriman, and it is believed that all the details of the work were fully discussed be tween the two so that Mr. Lovett will be ready to take up the management of the great systems under the Har riman control, just where the dead magnate left off. In politics Mr. Lovett has always been affiliated with the Democratic party, although of late he has taken no active part in politics. In Texas before his removal to New 1fork he was always recognized as a great cam paigner and rendered yeoman service to his party. Mr. Lovett js also a re ligious man, and has alawys taken a cVep interest in the work of the Bap tist church of which he is a member. He is also a members of the Lawyers' club of New York city and the Hous ton and Thallian clubs of Houston. The Lovetts reside at the Majestic hotel in New York City, and Mr. Lovett's office suite is located at 120 Broadway. In his new position Mr. Lovett will exert much the same influence as did Mr. Harriman. Mr. Lovett is expected to occupy the seat of the dead mag nate on the stock exchange, and will have a direct oversight of the entire Harriman svstem. It has not been announced as yet who will be in charge of the opera tion of the' immense system, although it is generally believed that Mr. Har riman named Julius Kruttschnidt, Mr. Kruttschnitt is now located in Chicago and is in charge of the op erations of the Southern Pacific It I 1 -.y a a v i 4 TAKES JJWN LIFE. Albert Sarbac h, Ex-Kepresenta tire, a Suicide. Inhaled Cbleroform in Kansas City Hotel. HIS LOSSES HEAVY. Believed to Hare Been on Wrong Side of Market. Had $10,000 as Treasurer Ma sonic Grand Lodge. Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 13. Albert Sarbach, aged 40 years, a weal thy merchant of Holton, Kan., and for merly a member of the Kansas legis lature, was found dead in his room at a local hotel today. Death was due to inhaling chloroform fumes. Sarbach registered at the hotel Fri day. He had not been seen about the hotel since Saturday night. Albert Sarbach was the junior memDer or tne arm of L. Sarbach Sons, Holton merchants. Albert Sar bach was a grain dealer, and had a line of elevators along the M. K. T. railroad, and for the past two Albert Sarbach, Ex-Representative, Who Committed Suicide Today. years or more, has bought and sold grain. Friends in Holton believe that he has lost a lot of money on the board of trade within the past year, and it was generally understood that his mercantile ncm iru ilolton was In a bad way financiaUil. Mr. Sarbach was. a prominent Mason; and grand treasurer for. the state o Kansas, and had control of all the Ma sonic funds, which amounted to $40,000 at the time of his death. At present his financial condition has not been unravelled, but the funds of the Ma sonic order in his possession were f'llly protected by a surety company bond. He also carried life insurance to ti e extent of between $30,000 and $50,000. A short time ago the Sarbach brothers, Albert and Moses, inherited an estate from their father, which amounted to J100.000. The news of Mr. Sarbach's death was a great shock in Holton, where he was well and favorably known, and fully trusted, regardless of the rumer that the mercantile firm was about to break. Mr. barbach represented Jackson county two terms in the state legis lature, six and eight years ago. Last year he ran for senator from that dis trict. and was beaten at the primaries by John D. Myers. Mr. Sarbach and his brother, the late Moses Sarbach were both members of the Topeka lodgo or JiiKs, tne only members of Jewish ancestry on the rolls. Mr. Sarbach was 40 years of age, and uiiiiiarneu. READY FOR TAFT'S VISIT Chicago Pickpockets Given Xoticc to Leave. Chicago, Sept. 13.

NOT QUITE ALONE Peary Had One Eskimo With Him at Pole. Eging Wah Is His Only Witness. STORY OF JOURNEY. Drowning of Prof. Marion Return Trip. on The Pole Appeared as a Frozen Sea. Battle Harbor, Labrador. Sent. 13. The following details of Com mander Peary's journey to the North Pole have been srleaned from mem bers of the expedition on board the steamer Roosevelt: Ihe only men to reach the pole were Commander Peary and one Es kimo, Eging Wah by name. The oth er white members of the various par ties tnat left Caie Columbia were sent back one by one as Pear- drew nearer aailjr to his objective. Mat thew Henson and three Eskimos, the only other members of the reduced party that made the final dash, were left one march south of the pole. Capt Robert A. Bartlett and George Borup started February 27, from Cape Co lumbia with a number of Eskimos and dogs on the march across the ice, heading north. On March 1, Com mander Peary left Cape Columbia with his party, consisting of seven white men, 17 Eskimos and 136 dogs. On March 4. Peary came ud with Bartlett, who had pitched his camp at the side of a lead of water which it was impossible to cross. The com bined parties had to wait until March 11, seven days before further progress was possible. The sun was seen for the first time March 5, and an ob servation showed that the explorers were a short way from the 84th parallel. The supply of alcohol was running short, and Borup returned to Cape Columbia for a fresh stock. March 14 Borup overtook Peary again and brought a supply of oil and alco hol. The division under Prof. Ross G. Marvin joined Peary the same day. At this point Prof. Ronald B. McMil lan was sent back, his feet having badly frozen. Borup returned to land from 85.25 with two Eskimos. The party now consisted of 12 men. ten sledges and 85 dogs. Bartlett and Rest Return. Bartlett was still beating out the trial two days ahead of Peary. Mar vin took observations at 85.48 and then started on his return march. On the next march Bartlett made a rec ord trip, covering 2irrntles. This brought him to 85.38. The party now consisted of Peary, Bartlett, Matthew Henson, the colored man who has been Peary's personal assistant on so many of his expeditions; the Eskimos, seven sledges and 60 dogs, and the journeq northward was resumed. The ice was perfectly level as far as the eye could see. Bartlett took the ob servation, on the 85th parallel on April 2, and then reluctantly return ed, leaving Peary, Henson and three Eskimos, with provisions for 40 days, to make the final dash to the pole. This reduced party started the -morn ing of April 3. The men walked that day for ten hours and made 20 miles. They then slept near the 89th paral lel. While crossing a stretch of young ice 300 yards wide the sledge broke through. It was saved, but two of the Eskimos had narrow escapes from drowning. The ice was still good, and the dogs were in great shape. They made as high as 25 miles a da. The next observation was made at 88.25. The next two marches were made in a dense fog. The sun was sighted on the third march, and an observation showed 89.57. The pole was reached April 6, and a series of observations were taken at 90. Peary deposited his records and hoisted the American flag. The temperature was 32 degrees below zero, Fahrenheit. The pole appeared as a frozen sea. Peary tried to take a sounding but got no bottom at 1,500 fathoms. Peary stayed at the pole for thirty four hours and then started on his return journey the afternoon of April 7. On the return the marches was con tinuous and Peary and the Eskimos suffered greatly from fatigue. They had their first sleep at the end of the eighth march from the pole in the Igloos left by Bartlett; here there was a violent snow storm. Slept for Two Days. On Aoril 23. the party reached the vertical edge of the land ice west of Cape Columbia. The Eskimos were de lighted to reach land and the party slept for two days. They repaired their sledges, rested their dogs, and resuming the journey, reached tne iooseveic April 27. Marvin left Peary on the way up on Friday, March 26, to return to the ship. He had with him two Eskimos and 17 aoas. The story of the professor's death was obtained from one of the Eskimos April 10. Marvin was 45 miles from Cape Columbia. He started out that morning, walking ahead. The Es kimos were delayed in packing the sledges, a fact that permitted Marvin to get a good start on them. When the Eskomos arrived at an open lead they notice that the young ire. was broken about zo yaras oui ana they saw what looked like a man's body floating in the center or tne jeaa. uw irg to the treacherous condition of the ice the Eskimos could not venture out. They returned to the Roosevelt and re ported. Captain Bartlett then went back to the point they designated and recov prnl Prof. Marvin'3 spare boots, cloth- ir g and personal belongings, which were STill on tne .CO wnere liie .csM.iiiim had leZt them. The superstitions of their race prevented the natives from bringing the dead man's effects with them. Prof. Marvin s records ana ooserva- tions were saved. MAY BOTH BE WRQJTG. That Is Opinion of French Scientist on Peary-Cook Controversy. Paris, Sept. 13. Raymond Lestonnat. a member of the superior council of navigation, said today that he thought! the difficulties of ascertaining a- posi tion in high Polar latitudes made quite likely both Commander Peary and Dr. Cook were in error. The delicacy of the recordine instrumert and the fact that the excessive cold makes it necessary to handle them with muffled fingers, together with the refraction of the rays of the sun. mak accurate use of the sextant almost ini possible. Continuing M. Lestonnat said he thought a dash to the pole had Utile scientific value. The real secrets are to be found at the magnetic pole, where a study of conditions mieht furnisn important indications regarding the physical properties of the globe. Charges Against Peary. New York. Sept. 13. The opinion of a noted French scientist cabled frjm Paris today gave warning that tin North Pole controversalists mav oo struct their own ends. It was the first definite expression of belief that both Commander Peary and Dr. Cook might be wrong in believiner they had attain ed tne top or the earth. At the same time there was evident today a disposition on both sides to await the arrival of both Peary and Cook on American soil before making further charges or presenting more evidence. The final arrangements for the re ception to Dr. Cook when he arrives here September 21 are being made to day. The executive committee of the Arctic club of America promises the demonstration will be no less than the one explorer received when he landed in Copenhagen. Cook's supporters showed some of their hand today when they gave out thi import of the socalled mysterious letter between Rudolph Franrke Cook's man, and Mrs. Peary. They explained they gave out the Informa tion because it refuted the indirect statement that Mrs. Peary had been asked to Fend money to Mrs. cook. This letter made charges that Peary had taken furs belonging to Dr. Cook, WHITNEY HAS NO RECORDS. Hunter Coming: Home Without Cook Documents. New York, Sept. 13. The following wireless and cable message has been received in this city: "Battle Harbor, Labrador, via Cape Ray, N. F., Sept. 12. I have no knowledge of Cook's having given Whitney any records. There are no Cook records on the Roosevelt. (Signed) "PEARY." In Copenhagen Dr. Frederick A, Cook declared that he had given to Harry Whitney, the wealthy young hunter, part of the records of his ob servations on his return from the North pole to Etah, Greenland. Dr. Cook assumed that Whitney would bring his records to this country. Com mander Robert E. Feary picked up Whitney at Etah and was bringing him south on the Roosevelt when they met the relief ship Jeanie, to which Whitney was transferred to continue hi hunting for a few weeks in Baffin bay. It was confidently expected by Dr, Cook's supporters here that Mr. Whit ney had turned these records over to Commander Peary and that the latter would bring them to this country .with him. HERE'S A CASUS Ettl. Canada Claims, the North Pole, De spite Peary and Cook. Ottawa, Sept. 13. Canada claims J 11 land directly north of the American continent as far as the pole. This posi tion will be taken, it is semiofficially stated, in reply to a question asked In the British house of commons as to the ownership of the Nerth Pole, sojn after the result of Doctor Cook's aiid Peary's exploration became known. The question was referred to Canada for reply. Canada's answer in effect will be that all the territory between the Norch American boundary and the North Pole must be recognized as Canada's Hin terland. The islands, it is maintained, have been formally taken possession of by Captain Bernier, Canada's Arctic explorer, who is now lost in the far north. SHOT FATHER AND SON. diaries C. and Sam Davidson of Eudora Get Hot Reception. Lawton, Ok., Sept. 13. Because the officers thought they were boot leggers, Charles C. Davidson and his son, Sam Davidson, both of Eudora, Kan., were shot here by deputy sher iffs, Tom Glenn and J. H. Jackson. Neither was dangerously wounded. The Davidsons had just arrived here from Kansas to take possession of a farm which they had purchased. When the officers commanded them to halt, the Kansans thought they were being held up by highwaymen and started to run. The shooting fol lowed. LAUM TAKES AFLY.

Three-Time Pennant Winner 1 eaves Columbus Because of Friction. Columbus, O., Sept. 13. Manager W. J. Clymer has resigned as man ager of the Columbus Baseball Club, his resignation to take effect on Sep tember a. He was angered at the reports that Friel was to succeed him next year and wired his resignation from Indianapolis. The chances- are that he will not be kept the remainder of the season, as he desires. Friel will likely be put in charge of th team today and Clymer sent home with pay for the remainder of the year The resignation is the outcome of more or less friction during the year. WHERE THEY PLAY TOMORROW. Wichita at Topeka (two games). Omaha at Sioux City. Des Moines at Lincoln. The Sioux City press is worrying about Topeka throwing 'games to Des Moines. Also because Topeka's pitch ers are not all in Des Moines. It does hove comewhat that appearance, it must be confessed. This man' Holmes is certainly an egotistical person to say the least. Through the medium of the Siux City press hs is telling how much he did to secure a perpetual franchise In the Western League for Topeka. This sounds rather queer. Holmes has about as much influence in the affairs of the I Western League as Senator La Foliette has in the United States senate. What did Ducky do to get that perpetual! franchise for Topeka? Holmes also takes credit unto him self for securing a good schedule for Topeka. Another tad guess. Sioux City wouldn't have had a decent sche dule in the Western League this season had it not been for Cooley's fight at the Lincoln meeting last winter. Cooley secured for Holmes an equitable mile age, and good dates. Without cooley s help Holmes v.ouldn t have had any kind of a schedule whatever. Next season will see Cooley lined up with the other contingent and Ducky will have to fight Uis own battles. With the vote 7 to 1 against him how' will Holmes fare another sea-son? The Western League press is taking the Topeka-Sioux City controversy too seriously. It is a hard proposition to stand by Holmes in every fight, but the Sioux City press is doing r it and indulging in the yellow in order to do it. While the disputed game was in progress Cooley asked one of Holmes' scribes .what, he thought of the outrage wnich was being perpetrated. The scribe replied that it was manifestly unfair, but when it came to voicing his opinion in black and white, the Holmes perron was feared. And now after ad mitting that Holmes was wrong the b:oux Citv Journal is especially vitu-I-trative in its defense of Holmes and its arraignment of Cooley as a crook. All there is to the present scrap, i3 that Topeka was illy treated and Holmes is trying to justify himself. The official score in Friday's game at Omaha gives Wooley five hits out of six times up. two of them being triples. This Utile outfielder is hitting :r. great shape now, arid this hereto fore has been his only shortcoming. Cooley is fortunate that Woolcy's bat ting streak didn t start a month soon er. Cooley would have had to part with him via the draft route. Now he is almost asf.ured for Topeka next season. One of Wooley's tripies Fri day was a slashing line drive which struck Billy Fox on the shin and bounced away to the bleachers. Wooley hi recognized as one of the best out fielder in the league. Burnum is doing very well for Des Moine3. He has started a few games but has been relieved in every one. It was hoped here that the big fellow would get going good so that Des Moines' chances for the rennant would be increased. Wichita opens tomorrow for two games. Another game will be played Wednesday This is all the baseball vntil the Topel.a team returns from the Colorado trip to wind up the sea son with Pueblo and Denver. It will be the last appearance this season of the Izzies. Jack Henry's arm 1s in bad shape. and he will not be likely to play an other game this season. Bill Rapps who played with the Leav- ci.'wortii. Wichita and Oklahoma City teams in the Western Association is now playing with the Kansas City team. 3ill last year foresook the out field for first base, ana during tne reason just closed ne put up sucn a same around the initial station that 0 I he was soli to George Tebeau. Now he crowde:! the veteran. Jake Beakley out of a job. Halla, Selby and Olson of the Louis ville team, ail formerly of Topeka, were drafted by the big leagues. Halla was drafted by Pittsburg, Selby- by the Cubs aud Olson by Detroit. As but one c-'ass A niayer can be drafted from each club, lots were cast and Olson won out. The Sioux City club won't have such easy sailing from this time o;i. urn fire Gienalvin has been transferred to Lincoln and Mullen goes to Sioux City. Ducky will have a hard tima trying to subsidize Mullen. Then Ducky wil! be playing the first division teams most of the time from now on. Omaha goes there tomorrow and the club has yet to ulay two series with Des Moines, and some with Lincoln. And the Links from the way they are now playing win ccuse some trouble. The De3 Moines team may yet be retained in the Iowa metropolis. The looters of the club have got together and are trying to make some plans to prevent tho transfer to St. Joseph. By the way what has become of that ef- j fort to transfer the Pueblo club? There is still a chance to change the standing of some of the clubs. The top position will be between Sioux City and Des Moines.

The subjcet of the probable successor to Mr. Har- rlman is one of general discussion among representative railroad men, and there is a prevailing opinion that bin official responsibilities -will be a heritage to Judge Robert S. Lovett, there were not a few who held to the belief that changing conditions will result in the casting of Kdwin Hawley Into the breach and that he will be prima th recoernized master of the railroad situation. A critical analysis of the two men, the present conditions and circum stances surrounding them and their respective characteristics and attain ments appears to give Judge Lovett the advantage, particularly in view of the fact that he is believed to have been the personal choice of Mr. Har riman as his successor as manager of the great corporate properties under his control, while Mr. Hawley is known to have been picked by Har riman's asociates who were not in full accord with his views and plans for future action, and who Mr. Harri man believed to be antagonizing his efforts. Hawley's Qualifications. Edwin Hawley has had a remark able career, and many believe that his future is full of promising possi bilities. There is no reflections on Mr. Hawley. however, to say that so far his greatest successes have been in buying railroads, rehabiliating them and selling them at a profit. He has made his Wall street reputation along this line. On the other hand Judge Lovett has shown himself to be a shrewd financier, a practical railroad official of marked ability, has ac quainted himself with intricate de tails of the management and opera tion of great systems, and has had the advantage of constant close per sonal contact with and tutorship of the mighty Harriman, whose individ ual advisor and personal companion he has been for a great many years. Judge Lovett, perhaps more than any other living man, has been let into the secrets of the dead financier, and knows better his plans and desires for the future conduct of the affairs of his gigantic corporate estate. None Harriman's Equal. It is the general opinion that the reins of control can not possibly be J placed in the hands of a man who will f exert sucn a personal control as did Mr. Harriman. "Wall street believes. however, that, whoever may be chos en to head the road must be a man acceptable to the banking house of I Kuhn, Loeb Co., and the National City bank, which, it is believed, will continue to look after the financial side of the system as in the days of JVlr. Hanman. It is possible that be fore the election of a new director a compromise with certain powerful rival interests may be brought about. so tnat a man unidentified with Mr. Harriman during the latter's life may tnke the dead leader's seat in the board of directors of the Union Pa- clflc. With the road for the present un- o'er the leadership of Judge Lovett, other lieutenants of Mr. Harriman I will come more to the front The I four men, besides Judge Lovett, most depended upon by Mr. Harriman in the operation of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific rere William R.

AFTER -sr. C Li i v'3j i Judge Robert Ijovett and His Wife as ici, xneir Aew Xew Tork, Sept. 13. A Texas product of whom the United States will hear more in the future is Judge Robert Scott Lovett. Judge Lovett is a self-made man and self-educated, to a large extent. He is nearinsr the half century mark in life and bis ca reer from the public schools of Hous ton, Texas, to the legal head of the Harriman system has been one of ac tivity and continued advancement. Twenty years ago Mr. Lovett mar WALTER AVERILL IIAKKIM AX. Eldest Son of Dead Magnate May Some Day Succeed His Father. New Tork, Sept. 13. Walter Av- erill Harriman. the eldest son of the dead railroad king, today, at 17 years or age, finds himself confronted with the absolute necessity of preparing to master the Intricacies of railroading in order that a few years hence he may step in and seize the reins of management that death' took from the well-trained hands of his father. eventual! v- wHl- tnih the manpment of the billion'-dollar interests of his father, is well educated and knows something of railroading, he readily admits that at present he is incapa ble of the management of the gigan tic system of roads his father built up needs, and that he first must learn the railroad business thoroughly be fore he attempts to direct. Realizing with characteristic keen ness of perception that his days of .ac tivity were drawing to a speedy close and that it would be necessary for his son to prepare to shoulder the bur riena rlMth wnillr! nlaPR on him. Mr. Harriman, some months ago, started the boy off on a career of railroading, sending him West first, to aid the sur- mvnrj and later to enter the shops UnH fhon to run a loeomative. Mr. Harriman had planned to have his son wort in eah branch until he reached th tnn. Walter Harriman has many of the characteristics of his father. He is not boastful; he is thoughtfm, not talkative, and a good listener. He is remarkably decisive, much as his father was. He makes up his mind quickly and acts accordingly. ie does not revel in the luxury that some might think his fortune would leaa him into. He thinks no more oi nu inif in the ordinary passenger coach or smoker than the hardened commu ter does. Now that young Harriman is face to face with the business affairs of his father, he contemplates plunging irtr th cniATiie of railroading as soon as the sorrow of his bereavement, loses its intensity. NO CHANGE IN PLANS. Death of Harriman Will Not Affect Union Pacinc Physical Policies. nmQha h.. Sent. 131 "E. H. Harriman's death will have no effect on the physical policy of the Union Pacific, and improvements wiun been nlanned will be pushed. to com pletion as though Mr. Harriman was ctill a t Iho nead nf affairs." This statement was made today by A. L. Mohler, vice president and gen eral manager of the Union Pacific. "Mr. Harriman's organization is so perfect and his plans were so well ma tured that his railroad properties will continue in operation from the mo rn ;ntum given them by Mr. Harriman during his lite. "His death will not prevent the con summation of his plans, except that one wheih he had made to be here to see the crowning of his desires with success." NOW IS A GOOD TIME To Take Advantage of Harriman's Consolidation Plan, Says Barber. Akron, O., Sept. 13. "It's a good time," said o: C. Barber, president of the Match Trust, here today, "to- take advantage of Harriman's consolidation scheme and bring the railroads of the country under one control, guaranteed by the- government. Millions of dol lars will have to be raised -from time to time for the maintenance of the lines, and this should be expended for the beenflt of the people." DAMAGE PAYMENTS INCREASED. Enormous Outlay by Railroads for Losses and Injuries. Chicago, Sept. 13. Railroads of the United States paid approximately $56,700,000 for "loss and damage" and "injuries to persons" during the year ending Jane 30, 1908, according to a report made public today by the bu reau of railway news and statistics. This is an increase of $8,441,000 com pared with the preceding year. Sta tistics are given showing that payments on account of "injuries to persans" in creased 254 per cent between 1897 and 1907, and for "loss and damage" 437 '"ill-, they Were Leaving the Majestic IIo- a. oris Home. ried Miss La vina Abercrombie of Huntsville, Texas.

Kensington, Kan., Sept. 13. It looked as if all of Kensington, most of Smith county, and visitors from neighboring towns helped celebrate the 22d annual good time celebration here. The band was here from Gay- lora, the fellow who makes the bal loon ascensions was on hand, and so was the steam swing, not to mention the cane racks, the shooting gallery ana tne lemonade, popcorn and sand wich venders. Business was practically suspended in order that the business men and clerks could attend the several amuse ments and watch the games of base ball. Farmers came to town not only in the best horse vehicles, but many or tnem m autos. And while the corn crop is cut short by hot weather and hail in the vicinity of Kensington, the farmers did not register a kick on this account. Nor can one hear of any or tnem who want to sell out and go elsewhere to better their condition unless they can get all their land is worth. There were less fakers at this 22d annual than for years, and all who came enjoyed it, and will be back again in the fall of 1910. OLDEST DEPOT MASTER. John Dougherty at Atchison Union Depot for 38 Years. Atchison, Kan.. Sept. 13. John IJDUgherty, who resigned as master of the Union depot here, has the unusual recora or naving worked 3 8 years without having taken as much as a vacation or one day. Ill health prompted him to resign. He is probably the oldest depot master in tne state in point or service. FARMERS ARE HOLDING WHEAT. Believe They AVill Get $1 a Bushel for Their Yield. Abilene, Kan.. Sent. 13.- -With the hope that the price of wheat will ad vance to one dollar or more, Dickin son county farmers are hanging to this year's crop. Local millers report that very little wheat is being sold at the present time and that a very small per cent of the crop this year has been sold although most of it has been threshed. The farmers have it in bins at home, dreaming of a higher price. Thinking Folks need food that will keep brain and nerves well nourished, else the brain grows dull and tires quickly.

There was great rejoicing in Hutchinson among the State Fair officials when the news was flashed over the wires that the Santa Fe railroad had grant ed a rate of one fare for the round trip from all points on its lines within 100 miles.- The latest information from the other roads was that a rate of a fare and a half would be granted It is posible the other roads will meet the Santa Fe s cut. This is the first reduction made since the 2-cent fare went into effect. The low passenger rates on the rail roads during State Fair week will ap ply to all trains on the several roads except the limited trains. The tick ets will be sold at any station within 100 miles of Hutchinson from Sep tember 11 to 17, and will be good un til September 18. On the Missouri Pacific a minimum limit has been made on the price of tickets and the reduction will not be given on less than fifty-cent tickets. On the other railroads no minimum was announced. RAY HAIJCi UNDER $1,000 BOND. Asa nl ted Victor Swanson of Ellis With a Hammer. Ellis. Kan., Sept. 13. The preliminary hearing of Ray C. Hal! charged with assault with intent to kill on "Victor Swanson, was heard by Justice Walker. The defense did not introduce any tjs timony but rested after the state had rested. From the evidence it appeared that Hall sold some electrical supplies to Swanson for $125. On the night when the assault was made Hall was in Swanson's shop getting some tools bo longing to him. Hall then said, accord ing to the testimony. "You owe me $25 for these goods." "No, I do not owe you one cent," Swanson replied, "and I can prove it." As he turned and stooped over to gat the check from a little box Hall dealt him a blow with a hammer on the neck a little below the right ear. Swanson fell to the floor and lay unconscious for a while and when he came to he at tempted twice to walk and fell down. The night of the trouble Hall went bo fore the po''ce judge and swore out a warrant against himself for assault and battery and was fined $100 ard costs. Hall was bound over for the dis trict court. His bond was fixed at $1,000 which was furnished at once. FIELD ARTILLERY ON A MARCH. Mounted Band Is With the Three Bat teries From Fort Riley. Junction City, Kan., Sept. 13. Three batteries of the Sixth Field Ar tillery under command of Major Hoyle have left Fort tney on tne annual twenty-one day march. The batteries will go to Wichita, wnere they will spend three days. Accompanying tne pattenes is the Sixth Field Artillery band, mounted, the only organization of its kind in the army. The route to Wichita is through Chapman, Solomon, Salina, McPher- son, Hutchinson, Foras .Ranch and In man. STORY BY PROFESSOR DYCHE. Throws Side Ughts on the Cook- Peary Controversy. Lawrence, Kan., Sept. 13. Prof. L. L. Dyche of the University of Kansas who went on the relief expedition in 1894 to find Commander Peary, says an effort was made by Emil Diebstisch, a brother-in-law of Peary, to induce him to sign an agreement promising not to give out anything m regard to dis coveries made in the Arctic regions Emil Diebstisch was acting as an agent for Peary, cays Professor Dyche. When we arrived on the coast of Greenland and found Peary the only trouble that took place between Lieu tenant Peary and myself was ov--?r whether we should hunt game or look for meteorites. We hunted game, for I had complete charge of the expedition," said Professor Dyche. The only trouble I ever had with Peary directly over the relief expedi tion was after we returned to New York and I gave to some of the news vtrf1- Vx, t X X.' -vVt. J papers an account of our trip. Peary was much offened ana said it naa de stroyed the value of all his writings for the papers. I told him that I had ab solute commond of the expedition, ar.d the matter was closed there." Professor Dyche believes Peary found out from the Esquimaux before he got back to civilization that Cook had die covered the pole and had already pre pared the statements he has given out. He believes, however, that both men have found the pole. "I cannot imagine Lieutenant Peary acting as he is about this matter. I suppose a man foiled in the ambition of a liftetime might act strangely, but Peary always appeared like a conserva tive man who was willing to prove everything and was not Jealous of the success of another. Then, Peary has not been at this exploring work any longer than Doctor Cook. Cook was the surgeon on the first expedition Peary ever made to the North Pole and set Peary's leg when it was broken," said Professor Dyche. CIRCUS LURED CONVICT AWAY.

The fact Is mentioned as be ing of still less importance than the discovery of the North pole. No Eansan has yet been found to volunteer to compete with Glenn Cur tlss for tha prize to be given by the Chicago Airship club for the most suc cessful flight through space. In the event that any one has failed to notice the fact. It is probably proper to remark that it Is hot again. But this mere statement Is sufficient talk on a subject that Is evidently going to be with us always. Speaking of the automobile as a product of the modern twentieth cen tury thought and inspiration, calls to mind the fact that Roger Bacon in the thirteenth century wrote the fol lowing: "It Is also possible to make ears operate with untold dispatch without the aid of beasts of burden." It Is too bad that Walter Wellman's balloon broke down before he tot be yond the northern realms of mankind. He then might have been another contestant for North Pole honors. The more there are of such chaos the merrier it would be. Merely two of them are altogether too few. An old pioneer In attendance at a re union in Chicago is quoted as declaring that It is easy to live for a century. Hi Is 85 years old and expects to reach fif teen more mileposts in his journey through this vale of tears. But the most remarkable features of the old man's interview is his assertion that he drinks beer and whisky and chews and smokes tobacco. The principal In gredient in his recipe for longevity Is "Don't worry." Mrs. Ella Flagg Toung, superinten dent of the Chicago schools, pays the following tribute to that important and hard working Individual, the school principal: "The successful principal is the leader of an educa tional corps, an educational teacher, a wise judge, a convincing lawyer, and a Rooeeveltlan executive, these Qualifications would guarantee the commercial world a salary of from $4,000 to $10.00 per year." And Mrs. .Toung la right. In suing her wealthy husband for di vorce at Washington woman alleged that he bought only a ten cent pie aid a box of tJneeda biscuts for breakfast while on their honeymoon. It ought not to take a judge over five minutes to grant the decree prayed for in this case. A man that will treat his bride In this fashion would starve his wife xo death. The meanest man In the world Is always an angel while on his honey moon. This Washington husband haj at a new mark in the record of human depravity. Ona of the finest expositions of the agricultural and industrial sort which ha ever been held in Kansas threw open Its gates today at the local fair grounds. It Is worthy of the heartiest support and patronage of every man, woman and child In Shawnee county and Its vicinity. If they, one and all help to make it an unbounded success, the chances are better, when the state legislators come to see the necessity tor the establishment of a state fair, mat xopeKa win te selected as the home for that Institution. It is announced now that President Taft will attack the woolen schedules In the Payne-Aldrlch tariff bill when he comes west. These schedules are practically the same as they were In the Dingley bill. While he is voicing his disapproval of these schedules the president will at the same time face the difficult task of explaining why the bill as a whole Is a good law and a redemption of a campaign promise. AS for the statesmen of the Kansas delegation In Washington who voted for and now defend the bill, they should have kept in closer touch with the president, and been first with their constitutents in the attack on the woolen schedules.

Taylor, a railroad authority, writing in the Chicago Railway and Engineering Review, makes the fol lowing startling statement: "On account of the large number of young women, as compared to boys, in high schools, a great injustice is done to the boys who are obliged to remain. Every boy should be taken away from the feminine Influence at of aee. We need to adopt some of the ideas and customs of the aborigines. Boys, real boys, are lit tle savages, and they need the Initiation into life through virile sur roundings." This man Taylor has allowed his theories to run away with his judg ment and common sense. If the boys were removed from feminine In fluence at the age of fourteen they would be savages, allright, in the worst sense of the world. It is the influence of woman that goes to make nnrt mould the best there is in a man. She plants ambition in his heart puts strength in his arm and the flash in his eye.

This paper has set a good example which all the oth er papers in the country should fol low. The trained nurse is a queen nf sncletv. She does not wear dia monds or Paris gowns, but her white cap and uniform are an insignia of roylaty, just the same, and they iook better than silk and satin to the poor fellow on his bed of suffering.

NICHOLAS AND MOHAMMED. The czar of all the Russias is io meet the sultan of all the Turkeys this month on board the latter's yacht off the Turkish coast, and these two last survivors of the European despots will talk it over. Of all rulers It is most fitting that these two should meet. Russia has been a black spot on the map of Europe for the last five centuries, and Turkey's record extends back about ten centuries and is even darker than that of Russia. But the Turks, in spite of their fanaticism and servility, succeeded In their revolution of recent date, while the Russian peo ple failed miserably. Nicholas II, the weakest of a long and bloody line of Romanoffs, can still talk to Mohammed V of the delights of despotic power, while the descend ant of the prophet listens and sighs for his lost chances of oppression. These two little, mild mannered men are the living representatives of the bloodiest and most cruel tyrants since the days of the Roman emperors. Nicholas and Mohammed were names to conjure with a few hundred years ago. All the old Nicholases died with their boots on and some kind relative generally hastened their taking off. While Mohammed was the title as sumed by the camel driver of Mecca, the writer of the Koran, the prophet of Allah, the commander of all the faithful, and the founder of a religion that threatened to overrun Europe at one time was only stopped at Tours by Charles Martel after seven days of fighting. These little men, wearing big names, can sit in the parlor stateroom of a palatial yacht and talk it all over. It would take a year to narrate all the crimes and cruelties of their ancestors. but they can speak of a few of the most Important massacres and the more notorious acts of oppression. Civilization has hesitated a long time at the barrier on the borders of their kingdoms, but at last she entered the domain of the long suffering Turk and some time, surely, she will enter darkest Russia and drive out the grand dukes and make an end to the tyranny of the czar. Nicholas and Mohammed can see the handwriting on the wall if they will look for it. The long race of tyranny Is nearly run. The names they bear stand for nothing now ex- cept a dark past and an uncertain fu ture. This meeting on the yacht will be a tame affair. Such a meeting of their ancestors would have meant an exchange of slaves and a massacre for exhibition purposes. Time was when a Mohammed never left his capital ex cept on a campaign of conquest. Now all that is left for the old world despots is an occasional meet ing, surrounded still by splendors, and a chance to talk it over. The history of the sovereigns of the Twentieth century will consist solely of a chron icle of these meetings. It wijl not be so interesting to the readers of history as the deeds of violence but neither will it be so hard upon the common people of contemporaneous times. How are the mighty fallen, each in a snare of his own making. JOURNAL ENTRIES One of the best things to have for a rainy day is a friend who has an embrella to lend.

The last legis- ltture appropriated liberally for this purpose and Prof. Kendall, head or the department in using these founds in the way that will do the most good, and that is to build up his herd with the best pure bred stock available.

Statistics compiled by the British consul general at Berlin thrown an in structive light upon the industrial and social conditions and progress of the German empire. It has long been known that the empire is growing rap idly in population, wealth and com merce, but these figures indicate that its progress is being made at a steadily and indeed, rapidly increasing rate. The population in xoa was M.i.fcj.u, in 1895 it was 51,770,284 and In 1907 it was 61,720,529. Thus In the former period of thirteen years the Increase was 14.48 per cent, and In the latter period of twelve years it was 19.22 ner cent. This increase was due not so much to a growing birth rate as to the lessen ing of the death rate through improved sanitation and advanced medical and surgical knowledge. It Is to be observed also that the in crease of the male population is greater than that of the female, although the female population is still In the ma jority. Thus, from 1882 to 1895 the in crease of the males was 14.71 per cent and of females 14.26 per cent, and from 1895 to 1907 the figures were respective ly, 19.88 and 18.58 per cent. The result is that while in 1882 the excess of fe males over males was 920,615, fn 1907 It was only 798,329. To what extent this state of affairs is due to the military service of men a.i(i to the Increasing engagement of wom?n in business pursuits Is an interesting, topic of speculation and possible Inves tigation.

This year it is estimated that 70,000 Americans will come into the country. They will take up between 20,000 and 25,000 homesteads, and as it is consid ered that they bring property to the average value of $1,000 each, this would give a total new capital of $70, COj.000. In 1907, the year in which we had our greatest volume of Immigra tion, there were 178,500 British and Americans as compared with 84,000 from the continent of Europe. For the past year there were 100,000 British and Americans and not a third as many from Europe. It Is apparent that even with the best business management the empire can apply to the direction of its pop ulation the American immigration to Canada will continue to exceed that from Great Britain. One of the most careful -tnd sober-minded of our pub lic men with whom I talked a few days ago, a man who knows the West and for years has had Intimate offi cial knowledge of the movements of population on both sides of the border, believes that in the next ten or twelve years 5,000,000 Americans will come into Canada. Upon this I pronounce no opinion, save to agree that the over flow from the United States is bound to increase in volume. Naturally there are those among us who regard "the American Invasion" with uneasiness, and fear the ultimate effect upon our institutions and upon the relation of Canada to the empire. In this connec tion I can only say that for some years I have been at pains to consult men from all parts of the West who should know the minds of these Amer ican settlers and their general disposi tion toward the social and political insittutions of the country, and as yet I have not found a single Western Canadian to express apprehension. They all agree that while the Ameri cans have a natural affection for "Old Glory" and as yet may confuse the Fourth with the First of July, they pay ready allegiance to the flag under which they have come to ,live, and very generally agree that the impartial and inflexible administration of jus tice in Canada is in itself sufficient reason for the permanence of the Brit ish allegiance and an honest loyalty to Canadian institutions.

"Why den't yer turn out, damn yer?" he yelled, as the big car whirled past. At the next house "Dave" stopped and told "Jim" Portcullom about the dangerous and high handed ways of the automobiles.

It is a somewhat curious fact that the English-speaking nations own nearly all the world's productive gold mines. Thus England, with its Canadian, Australian,; and South African mines, Is credited with 61 per cent and the United States with 22, making an ag gregate of 83 per cent, while all the rest of the world gets the remainder of 17 per cent. According to the statistics for 1907, the amount of gold mined in the whole world was 19,764,078 ounces, valued at nearly $420,000,000, of which $348,000,000 worth was pro duced on soil held by two English speaking nations.

The Topeka motor league has ap pointed a committee to investigate the dangerous crossings and street corners in the city. General Manager James E.

Physicians know that drugs will not correct the evils caused by coffee and that the only remedy is to stop drink ing it. An Arkansas doctor says: "I have been a coffee drinker for 60 years and have often thought that I could not do without it, but after many years of suffering with our na tional malady, dyspepsia, I attributed it to the drinking of coffee, and after some thought, determined to use Pos tum for my morning drink. "I had the Postum made carefully according to directions on the pkg. and found it Just suited my taste. "At first I used it only for break fast, but I found myself getting so 1 much better, that I had it at all meals, and I am pleased to say that It has entirely relieved me of in digestion. I gained 19 pounds in 4 months and my general health is greatly Improved. "I must tell you of a young lady In Illinois. She had been in ill health for many years, the vital forces low, fwith but little pain. I wrote her of the good that Postum did me and advised her to try It.

Every other state fair In Kansas has been accommodated with good rates and special trains by the railroads. But the Topeka officials were tardy in their requests and as 'a result it will cost th out of town man the regular fare. There will be but three Western League games In Topeka during Fair week. The Wichita team will be here tomorrow for two games and one will be played Wednesday, Wichita being the opposing team at each contest. The Washburn football team will start practice Tuesday. New suits, shoes and gears have arrived. It is hoped that Washburn will stay In the first division this year it will mean a mint for the management if she does. The state wide fair opened today and the old soldiers were given free en trance. However, the old soldiers are kicking they say that the first day of a fair Is rotten. It looks as though the fair association is having opposi tion. Mayor Willie Green is starting a re form he proposes to have the street car company dig up the grass between its tracks. On lower Kansas avenue the weeds are getting to be good hil ing places for the criminals who Si-H booze. It might be suggested to have the Santa Fe motor car make Washburn college the division point and run t:ie thing up the street car tracks to th college. There are a lot of Washburn students living on the trail of tno motor. The celebration of the colored peo ple on September 22 Emancipation Day will be held at the fair grounds. Hon. W. T.

All day Sunday the pop-pop en thusiasts ran their air cutters tlirough the streets at break neck speed. They were practicing for the races today. It is a wonder that some innocent pedes trian was not a "victim of circum stances." Since the new common drinking cup rule which has been applied to schools all the school children in the city have been making a rush on the cup dealers. Saturday night there was not a col lapsible cup' to be found in the city. The drouth is still on. The Santa Fe motor car brought a number of out of town people in for the Fair today. This car will prove a great convenience for the residents along the Santa Fe south of Topeka, who can come up In the morning and return home in the evening each day during Fair week. It is a notable fact that Topeka Is hitting and fielding better than Des Moines but still loses the games.

His general condition is considerable better than It was Saturday, although he is in great pain most of the time. The physicians say that he is doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances and his friends are en couraged by this statement.

Special arrange ments are to be made at the West Side baseball park so that when President Taft witnesses the game between the New York and the Chicago National league teams Thursday afternoon he can watch it as a "real fan." He is not to occupy a special box on the field, nor even one of the grandstand boxes. Numerically, his seat is "chair 12, section 4." Carpenters are to remove the much worn seats from that section and re place them with comfortable arm chairs. The "presidential seat" is in the first row in the grandstand, direct ly back of the players' bench of the home team and opposite first base. That, they say, is where the "fans" seek their seats. He is to be surrounded 'by 2,800 members of the Hamilton club. STILL NOJATES. Santa Fe Refuses to Grant De mands of Commercial Club. J. M. Connell Says Bead Not Take Ini stive. Will FAVOR OTHER CITIES. Hutchinson and Wichita, Special Trains and Bates. Other Roads in Topeka Waiting for Santa Fe. a Una I effort was made today by George Badders. in behalf of the Com mercial club, its different departments and the State Fair association, to ob tain from the Santa Fe special rates for the accommodation of the crowds who are planning to come to Topeka for this fair week. The effort resulted in a statement by J. M. Connell, general passenger agent of the Santa Fe, to the ercect mat the road would take the matter into consideration. Thus until further nrtice there will be no special J-opesa lor tne state wide fair. The matter has been taken up with nsamni, general passenger Agent J. a. oiewart or the Rock Island, H. O. -aiii or the Rock Island and R. T. .aiaimews or the Missouri Pacific. All of these gentlemen have informed Sec retary Badders that they will grant the rties as soon as the Santa Fe. takes up the initiative. The Rock Island promises to put the rates into effect as soon a3 word is received from the &anta e. Tne Union Pacific will fol low suit as soon as any railroad enter ing Topeka makes rates. The Missouri Pacific Is willing to do anything done by any other road. The whole matter of rates has been brought up in the last few days. The fair associations at Hutchinson and Wichita have each influenced the rail roads to give them rates and also special trains. Hutchinson has them this week. The fact that the apparent discrimination was made has caused the Commercial club to take this sud den action. Just to give an idea of the great ad vantages gained by Hutchinson and Wichita it might be well to show their deals with the railroads. Hutchinson has been granted a fare of one cent a mile within iOO miles radius of the city in other words, round trip for one fare. All the roads entering Hutch inson have given this rate including the Santa Fe and the Rock Island. The Santa Fe will run three special trains, the Rock Island two every day and the Missouri Pacific two every day. These trains will come up within a short dis tance 3t Topeka and will draw heavily on the Topeka territory. For instance, a special train will run every day from Herington to Hutchinson on the Rock Island. Herington Is only 80 miles from Topeka and all the territory belongs to this city. Wichita has been granted a fare of one cent a mile and her radius has been extended 150 miles. This also eats Into the Topeka territory and takes thousands of people from this Speed $15 for one of our $30 Hart, Schaff ner Marx spring or summer suits and you Save $15 We are rapidly closing out all suits remaining from our spring and summer supplies.

Taken Up by Kreipe, According to George Badders, secre tary or the Commercial club, the mat ter of rates for Topeka was taken up some time ago by Secretary Kreipe of the State Fair association. Mr. Kreipe claims that he went to the Santa Fe officials and they told him that it v.ould be impossible to grant these rate The Commrical club was supposed to ask for the special trains. "I went up to see Mr. Connell about this mat ter and he told me that the Santa Fe would not have special trains any where In this section of the country," said George Badders this morning. "He went on to say that all of their extra coaches were in the shops being fitted up with steam heat and they bad no equipment. This settled our ideas on special trains and we dropped the matter. "Last Friday, after we heard of the Hutchinson rates, I went up to see Mr. Connell again," continued Mr. Badders. "I told him that we wanted rates and he said that it was rather late for a request of this kind. I then told him that he had been asked two weeks ago by Mr. Kreipe and he denied hearing arythlng of this request until this morning. He said that Mr. Kreipe had said nothing to him concerning the re duction of rates "I then asked Mr. Connell why he as a member of the Commercial club and a citizen of Topeka did not sug gest the matter to the Commercial club. He said that the Santa Fe never took the initiative on such matters and it was not their policy. I asked him who took the initiative at Hutch inson and Wichita and he refused to state. "This same day, Friday, I took the matter up with the Rock Island, Union Pacific and Missouri Pacific over long distance telephone and they promised to consider the matter. They have since promised to do as the San ta Fe would do. The Rock Island will run three special trains from St. Joseph they have always done every thing for us that we asked. "Today," continued Mr. Badgers, "I went .up to see Mr. Connell and asked for the rates It is too late to make any attempts to get the special trains. Mr. Connell was still of the opinion that the Santa Fe should not take the initiative and could not give me any thing but a promise for reconsidera tion. "When I told him that I came In behalf of the Commercial club. The Jobbers and Manufacturers' Associa tion, the Merchants' Association, the Advertising Commission, the Corn- state .mercial Club and the State Fair As sociation and demanded that these rates be cut into effect. Mr. Connell still Insisted that nothing could be done until the matter could be thought over. So it stands that To peka does not have special rates, nor snecial trains for the big state fair. This is really the most important move in order to make a fair a sue cess and although it is pretty late to advertise the rates we would make mighty good use of them If they could be obtained." Duo to Other Roads. J. M Connell. general passenger agent of the Santa Fe, In discussing the position of the Santa Fe regard ing special rates for the State Wide Fair, said this morning: "It has been the policy of the Santa Fe since the two cent rate went into effect not to take the Initiative in granting reduced rates for special attractions such as state fairs and the like. The Santa Fe has sought to make a fair test of the two cent rate, and this cannot be done when special rates are granted for such occasions. In the cases of Hutchinson and Wichita our low rates were necessitated because of other roads granting reduced rates. If one road takes the Initiative then of course the other roads have to make the same rate." Mr. Connell also Intimated that no requests for reduced rates had been made for his road, until late last week. San Diego, the first port of call In the United States up from the Panama canal.

They Have Secured a Lease on the 2d and 3d Floors of the Building at 610 Kan sas Avenue. INSTITUTE WILL BE MAN EN T. PER- AND THE MICROBE IS OUT OF A JOB. tot Topeka Looks Good to Them After Visiting Other Places. Want a Number of Cases to Demonstrate Their New Method of Treatment The United Doctors are in town and have decided to open a permanent In stitute here. Dr. Hall says he likes Topeka better than any of the cities he has visited, and after taking a car riage ride over the town and talking with some of the business men here, he decided that Topeka was about the best location for an Institute that he had found In the west. They exper ienced considerable difficulty In se curing suitable rooms for their Insti tute, but they finally secured a lease on the second and third floors of the building at 610 Kansas avenue, which comprises In all twenty rooms, and the doctors think that will be suffi cient for the present. Topeka Is In deed fortunate In securing this In stitute, and if the United Doctors are as successful here as they have been in the east they will not want for business. The doctors say they are very anxious to secure a few cases at once to demonstrate their method of curing disease, and for that reason will take all cases which apply at the office for a very small fee. until get a sufficient number of cases to show the people of Topeka and sur rounding territory how quickly their new method will eradicate disease. The United Doctors treat all kinds of. chronlo and special diseases of men and women and make no charge for examination or consultation. TENNIS EXPERTS TO BE CHOSEN. Win Be Decided Today Who Challenge Australians. WU1 Philadelphia, Sept. 13. Today's program In the lawn tennis matches between the English and Americans to decide which shall challenge Aus-' tralla for the Dwlght F. Davis cup calls for one match In doubles. With' two points to their credit by virtue of two victories In singles on Satur day, the Americans have only to win one of the three remaining matches to give the challenge honor. Raymond D. Little and Harold H. Hackett will represent the United States today in doubles and their op ponents will be John C. Parke and J. C. Crawley. Parke played an excel lent game against W. J. Clothier on Saturday and fine tennis Is expected in today's match. If the United States wins It Is un likely that any member of the team will go to Australia as it Is under stood none of them cares to make the trip. It is generally understood that the two California experts, Mel- vine H. Long and Maurice F. Me-; Laughlin, will be selected to go to the Antipodes. The third member may be Beals C.

FINES HIGH SCHOOL BOYS Assessed $100 Each For Their Prank of Last Spring:. The trial of the four high school boys charged with defacing fixtures and statuary In the high school build ing last spring was finally brought be fore Judge Dana In the district court today. The climax to their bit of fun Is a $100 fine each. In. the court of Topeka the boys. Quay Diven, Harold Galbreath, George Wlllard and Robert McGlffert waived their preliminary hearing. The feeling and opinion against the boys for their conduct at the time was somewhat aggravated by statements of Principal Miller the boys claimed Since that Mr. Miller has resigned. Conferences have been held at dif ferent times between Superintendent Whittemore and County Attorney Schenck and the attorney had a con ference with the judge before the trial today. The parents of the boys had employed lawyers who also kept in touch with the trend of the affair with the result that the four pleaded guilty before Judge Dana. A fine of $100 each was imposed and an Im mediate parole granted. The addi tion of costs to the fines will be con siderable. SHOT THREE CHILDREN. Uticn Has a Murder Mystery With Horrifying Details. mica, N. T., Sept. 13. A crime for which there at present appears to be no explanation, was committed against three Italian children in this city last evening. They are Teresa Procipio, 7 years old, who is dead, shot through the heart; Fanny Infusino, 6 years old, badly wounded in the left arm,- and Freddy Infusino, two and a half years eld, .shot through the bowels and will die. The two last named are the chil dren of Erocole Infusino, a grocer In Blecker street, and the little girl, who Is dead, lived with her parents over Infusino's store. The three children had been missing since early last evening, when they were seen talking with an unknown man about 40 years old. The dead body of Teresa Procipio and the wounded Infusino children were found at the bottom of a deep hollow which is spanned by several viaducts. After Fanny Infusino had been re vived she said that last evening a man came along and took her little brother by the hand and asked him to go along a little way, promising he would buy him something nice. Teh girl fol lowed, attempting to get the child away from the stranger. BATH HOUSE EXPLODES. Women Blown Through Windows Into Street at Frisco. Esperanto Congress In America. Barcelona, Sept. 13.

The United States cruiser Des Moines collided with a two-masted schooner today San Francisco, CaL, Sept. 13. Ten persons were injured, several probably fatally, when a boiler In the Lurllne baths at 2163 Geary 'street exploded to day. Women patrons were blown through the windows of their compart- n.ents Into the street and the building was almost completely wrecked.

Through a corner 'in butter mani pulated by the olemargarine manufac turers, otherwise known, as the Western Beef packers, the people of Pittsburg face prices ranging from 30 cents to 35 cents a pound in August, and from 42 cents to 48 cents during January, February, and March. Pitts burg Jobbers say the oleomargarine in terests have been buying up the avail able supply of butter during June and July, paying 1 to 2 cents a pound in advance of the open market price. It is estimated by the butter men of Pittsburg that the Chicago packers have about 300,000 tubs of pure but ter stored In Chicago, and this is to be held either to mix with the oleomar garine and to be sold as pure butter, to force consumers to buy oleomargar- the tax on oleo. Butter has been ex ceedingly high for several months, but according to those In business here, these high prices will not equal the prices which will be demanded during the winter. Elgin butter went up one-half a, cent yesterday, making the price 26 cents to jobbers. This means a retail rate- of from 30 to 32 cents, which is 5 cents higher than butter ever cost at this time of the year, when it should be cheapest. The August prices are expected to te record breakers, and the people wishing pure butter will have to pay from 32 to 38 cents a pound for It, The January prices are usually 10 cents a pound in excess of the August figures, so that butter near SO cents a pound is a probability by the mid dle of winter. Pure butter men assert that the only remedy for these high prices la increased vigilance on the part of the state dairy and food department. Pittsburg Dispatch to the New York Press. Cotton Market.

Arden, N. Y.. Sept. 13. Through the quiet aisles of the Ramapo wooas me Dody or Edward H. Harri man was carried Sunday from the rreat house he did not live to see fin ished, and laid in its last resting place on the Arden hillside. The rulers of Wall street came from New Tork to pay their last tribute, but the most prominent part In the ceremonies was taken by the men who knew him best as a country quire and master of the great estate which covers 43.000 acres of hill and valley. His general superintendent, his master carpenter, his master mason .and the managers and assistant man agers of his dairies, his farms and his trotting stables bore his coffin. The funeral was private and only those who were personal friends of the family and had received invitations from Mrs. Harriman were admitted. The out-of-town party arrived at Ar den at 3:15 on a special train. The following were present: Mrs. John C. Neilsen, John Carpenter, Charles Carpenter. William Carpenter. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hart, Mrs. Frank Stevens, Mrs. Emily Onder Jonk, Mrs. David Murray, Miss Cath erine Harriman, Miss Helene Harri man. Dr. and Mrs. Mercer. Hon. B. B. Odell.

Holmes McGuiness. for Mrs. Harriman and her children at their home on Tower Hill. At 11 o'clock came a public memorial ser vice at St. John's church for the em ployees of the estate and parishioners, who, on account of lack of space, were unable to attend the funeral ser vice later. The Harriman news were left vacant. Mrs. Charles D. Simons. Mr. Harrl man's sister, her husband and two daughters and Orlando H. Harriman, a brother, were the only relatives present. Dr. McGuiness' Address. Instead of the usual morning ser mon, Dr. McGuiness, the pastor, de livered a memorial address? "Private and comparatively small as this gathering is, I feel upon me a power both of audience and subject, which seem to weigh me down. But I Iknow you will bear with me while I eimply endeavor to draw from this sol emn occasion some thoughts which may serve to make us who are so sad In some ways better men. The lesson of mortality read to us here is not to 'tis alone, but to the whole country. For this is not a thing done In a cor nier; this is not a burial affecting a few relatives and friends. Here we have one of the foremost men of all the world struck down. There is not an American whom this event does not reach. "Where is the man that wielded erach power as this man Who is taken from us? What a tower of strength (he was In the greatest undertakings And enterprises that overspread our Jand. Rightly he received that tribute f admiration which the American peo ple gladly pay to whoever has done best what everyone desires to do. "Probably no career has drawn to Jt or unfolded or developed as much jof the characteristic ability of the na tion as did the career of Edward H. Harriman. And did he labor selfishly only for himself? No. The circum stances of countless thousands were bettered by his enlightened and mas terly action. "Never has he been accused of un Vlerhand dealings nor has he given a phadow of an excuse for any one to ay that he abused the powers of his ;xalted position. And you know what Oie has been to all of you here. If this Jvalley and mountain could speak would they not have a story to tell of Biis desire to be a neighbor in the highest and truest sense? "As to our friend's private life most of you here need not that I Should recall It. But on this occasion I know you would have me speak of that which your own hearts know only too well.

God be thanked for such lives." Privacy Is Inviolate. Elaborate precautions were taken to preserve the privacy of the afternoon service. Several score of employees, aided by a number of policemen guarded all roads over which the fu neral procession passed and kept watch at Intervals of twenty yards around tha patch of woods which in cludes the Harriman burial plot. Eight carriages followed the hearse from Arden house. The first carried Mrs. Harriman and her two unmar ried daughters, Mary and Carol,- and her sons, Walter Averill and Roland. Mrs Robert L. Gerry, the married daughter, drove in the next carriage. Others in the party were Mr. and Mrs. Simons. Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Harriman, Charles Peabody, Judge Robert S. Lovett and Dr. W. G. Lyle.

Harriman to the earth on the spot he loved best. Mrs. Harriman and her children drove home Immediately after the ceremony. Every one of Mrs. Harrlman's friends In Arden and Turner, received a remembrance of the day when, the flowers that have been arriving by ev ery train for the past 24 hours were distributed. Altogether the flowers would have filled three express cars. All Work Laid Aside. Omaha, Sept. 13. Out of respect for their late chief, E. H.

Heart failure was the cause of death given by the physicians called in for an investi gation. No coroner's inquest was held. When found he was lying on the bed on his left side and no signs of a struggle was apparent. He was a widower, his wife having died about six years ago leaving no children. He has resided In Pittsburg for the past 85 SEIZED HIS HOUSE Dr. Cook Tells How Psary Con f iscated Stores. Left a Boatswain in Charge of Annatock Station. TAKES ANOTHER SLAP Bridgeman Says Cook Got In formation Through Peary. Commander Taking Time Return to United States. in Copenhagen, Sept. 13. A remarkable letter, giving Dr. Frederick A. Cook'n version of the trouble with Comman der Peary over supplies, appears In the Politiken. The letter was written by Dr, Norman Hansen, a prominent Dan ish physician, who serveral times visit ed Greenland to study eye diseases. Dr. Cook told practically the same story to one of his closest American friends Just a week ago, before Com mander Peary reappeared on the scene, but said he did not intend to make it public because it might lead to un pleasantness. Dr. Hansen was with Dr. Cook for some time in Greenland and. returned with him on the Danish government steamer Hansegede. "Now that Dr. Cook has gone," he writes, "I am n t longer under any obligation to keop silence and will exercise my right to publish the story about the house In Annatock, a story which Dr. Cook him self had too much delicacy to relate to the world. I write it from memory, as Dr. Cook told it to me and I am fully convinced that in no details are my recollections wrong. The House That Cook Built: "Dr Cook had built his house for stOTes in Annatock. north of Etah and it was this depot which h started to reach in February, 1909, crossing Smich sound. It was a pretty large house, the walls being built of heavily filled pro vision boxes, so that Dr. Cook knew that when this important point was reached, everything was safe. He had, before the start, given permission to o young friend named Whitney, to use the house while hunting musk oxen lor sport in the winter of 1908-09. "When Dr. cook and his two Esqui maux, exhausted and half starved, came within a short distance of the house in Annatock Young Whiti.ey came out to bid him welcome, but in side the house was a stranger, a giant Newfoundland boatswain, on watch This man had been placed in Dr. Cook's house by Peary, when the latter passed Etah with his ship bound north. Peary had given the boatswain a written Oi-- der, which commenced with the follow ing words: This house Belongs to Dr. Frederick A. Cook, but Dr. Cook Is long ago dead and there is no use to search for him. Therefore. I. Comander Robert E. Peary, install my boatswain in this de serted house. "This paper the boatswain, who cou.d neither read nor write, exhibited to Dr. Cook and the latter took a copy. Millionaire Treated Hke,,Dog. "This copy, however, he does not In tend to publish if Peary's course does not force him to do so. Dr. Cook gave me a lively account of how the young millionaire, Whitney, during the whole winter was treated like a dog by the boatswain and how he had witnessed the sailor bartering Dr. Cook's pro visions for fox and bear skins for him self. Dt. Co6k, also had to put a good face on the unpleasant situation. He had to beg to get into his own' house and had to make a compromise with the boatswain. Dr. Cook made a present or tne house with all Its contents to his two faithful Esquimaux, with the pro vision that Whitney was to have the use of the house as long as his hunting trip lasted, but he was compelled to let the boatswain continue his watch. The boatswain, however, received strict or ders not to exchange any more of thfi provisions or guns. To Mr. Whitney Dr. cook gave in structions and his observations, as he thought these precious things were safer there than on the long sledge trip in the spring across Melville bay but all his note books and soiled record books which have been so closely written upon, he kept and carried with him. "To me, who understands only a very little astronomy, the records written down so closely and In all directions were very hard to read but what is the record to us? The two men. Peary and Cook, their character, their conduct, that is what Interests us. and every lit tle Item throwing a sidelight upon their natures is valuable." PEARY SAYS HE HAS PROOF.

On the road 66 days. Will deliver over 60 set speeches be sides hundreds of impromptu train talks. Speeches all delivered in west and south. according to assertions made here. This view Is taken by t large number of explorers, scientists and ethers, who are here to greet the explorer. "Commander Peary-.will have with bim incontestable proof to support ev ery statement- he- has made In connec tion with Dr. Cook's trip in the arctic," Herbert L. Bridgman. secretary of the. Peary Arctic club, said. "Everyone who knows Peary real izes he never makes statement unless he can prove them absolutely. When the- proper time arrives, and that will be when Dr. Cook has made his state ment over his signature the proof will be forthcoming. I quite agree with President Hubbard of the Peary Arctic club, that Dr. Cook might have learned weeks ao In Greenland of Commander Peary's discovery and that In the in terim he wove the story of his discovery of the North Pole. News travels fast rmong the Eskimos and it is quite like ly Dr. Cook heard of what Peary had done." Mr. Bridgman said he felt much, flat tered that Commander Peary had sta ted that he was "the only logical can didate for the polar commission." "The Belgian government in 1906," .aid Bridgmaa, "invited the several na tions to attend an International polar congress which adopted a provisional constitution for an international polar commission. The United States designa ted me to act as Its representative at the convention and I took my creden tials from the various geographical societies, arcMc and explorers' clubs. Two years later a definite call for a meeting of the commission was issued and tho conference was held in Brus sels In May of that year. What the Commission Flaned.

The French frigate Isly Is here and probably will remain in the harbor to aid in the welcome to Peary. No British warship is ex r(rietl. Peary likely will remain here two fltva and then ao with his family to his home in Casco Bay, Maine, where he will rest for a day or two, proceeu ing thence to Washington to make his offifinl renort to the .government. Com mander Peary is moving southward in the same precise manner tnat cnara.c t:7 his methndical and well calcula ted dash for the pole. The Roosevelt is being overnauled and painteu at as sizes Harbor, near Battle Harbor, and her commander has ordered that every injury sustained in her long stay in the Ice cradle of Cape Sheridan shall be removed before she sails for this port. PEARY AT BATTLE HARBOR. Hay Return Home on the Newspaper Steamer. Sidney, "N. S., Sept. 13. Comman der Robert El Peary is still at Battle Harbor and his family here are eag erly awaiting word-, of his departure on the Roosevelt-"for Sidney. Mrs. Peary received a wireless message from her husband, saying he would keep her posted and from this brief word it Is assumed Commander Peary has not definitely fixed the time of his sailing from Battle Harbor. Further information is looked for today, but the Roosevelt is not expected here before the latter part of this week. Plans are being made to have Herbert L. Bridgman, secretary of the Arctic club and the correspondents meet the Roosevelt in the vicinity of St. Paul's island and take him aboard the steam er which the government has turned over to the newspapers. The steamer is a much faster than the Roosevelt and this would expe dite Commander Peary's arrival here and at the same time give the corres pondents an opportunity to question the Arctic explorer about his dash to the pole and the Cook controversy. Pending the arrival of Commander Peary the questions that have arisen are being earnestly discussed among the members of the Peary welcoming party which is made up of Arctic ex plorers, scientists and correspondents. It is known here that Mr. Bridgman has suggested to Commander Peary through wireless telegraph that ow ing to the temper of the controversy it might be well to defer any long statement in the matter until he has reached here.

IES523 LESS THAN EXPECTED. John V. Moore's Estate Found to Amount to But $27,500. The estate of John W. Moore be queathed to Washburn college will not be available for the general en dowment fund of the institution aa expected according to the terms of the will probated today by Judge Schoch, but will establish a fund available for poor young people of Kansas to gain a college education and to be known as the "John V. Moore fund." A provision of the will is that the choice of students desiring aid be left to the discretion of the trustees of the college, but blood relatives shall have first preference and others shall have been born in the state of Kansas. There are no relatives likely to take advantage of the fund. Lewis H. Greenwood, secretary of the board of trustees of the college end an attorney, has made an inven tory of the property left by the de ceased. The real estate consists of two farms, one near Merlden of 320 acres, and one of 160 near Eskridge. The estimated value of the farms is S.25.000. Tha personal property so far a found consists of $2,000 In bonds $200 in notes and chattels, and $300 cash in two different banks, which brings the total up to $27,500. Washburn college was placed In charge of the entire estate, treasurer James S. Griffin being made executor designated In the will. A provision of the will alloting $10 a month to Ros etta Smith, a sister, of Toledo', O., will be carried out by the executor. The will was made February 11, 1901 and Witnessed by John Guthrie and A. K. Rodgers. That it was drawn .in favor of the college Mr. Greenwood attributes largely to tha Influence of Mr. Guthrie, Harvey Rice, and J. R. Mulvane, all close friends of Mr. 'Moore, who knew he waa without relatives. Although many hoped to see the gift placed on the general endowment fund to secure other donations from Andrew Carnegie and other sources, Mr. Greenwood said today, "There la no disappointment among the trus tees. Those connected with the col lege never knew what the provisions were, nor did they exert an Influence upon Mr. Moore In behalf of the col lege. The decision was Influenced, I believe, by those I spoke of a mo ment ago. The John W. Moore fund will take front rank In similar benefits of Its kind. Others are the Dllley fund of $2. BOO to aid young men in preparing for the ministry and the Boewell Ben efit for the same purpose. The Her rick fund of $1,000 Is devoted to the assistance of young ladies to secure college training. The home of Mr. Moore at 100 East Sixth street, was left to the col lege to be occupied by Mrs. Ellen Osenberg, his housekeeper, however during her lifetime and then to be come a part of the regular fund. Relatives of the deceased: Mrs. Rosetta Smith, Toledo, Ow. And Mrs. Martha J. Carrier of Rochester. O., sisters; Charles Moore of Nova, O., brother; Mrs. Eunloe M. Herrlck. and Mrs. Ella Wells, nelces both of Rochester, O. Mrs. Smith, who came to Topeka for the funeral, took no part in the settlement of the will, remaining ab sent from the court room.

With the weather conditions favorable a great many of the town's people are crjoylng the motor cycle races, and there is a good out-of-town representa tion. However, the biggest crowds are rot expected until later in the week from the outlying districts. W. L. DeClow of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has arrived with his exhibit of import ed horses which is one of the finest exhibits ever displayed in Kansas.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL-MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1909. FOR LOWER RATES John Dawson Goes After Ex press Companies. lr the state of Kansas, and that such reduction shall approximate not less than 25 per cent of the rates and charges on all forms of express ship ments within the state of Kansas, but in detail and particularly upon repairs for farm machinery, and upon ship ments of poultry, butter, eggs, fruit and vegetables, complainant prays for an absolute reduction of 50 per cent on such tolls and charges." TAFT CENTRAL FIGURE. NORTH SIDE NEWS More Indications for Reopening of Woolen Mills. An Exposition of Fall Fashions Alleges Extortion and Dis crimination. Submitting Samples of Goods to Chicago Brokers. 10 CUT OF 50 PER CENT. Demanded to Correspond With Bates in Other States. Kansas Pays Higher Bates Than All Bordering States. John Dawson, attorney for the state railway board, today filed with the board a complaint against all the ex press companies doing business in the state. The importance ol this suit and its far reaching: effects as regards the general public will be hard to estimau, as the burden, of the complaint Is a demand for a reduction in express rates in this state of from ten to fifty ier eant. r The Wells Fargo, United States, Pa cific, American, and Adams Express companies are named as defendants in the suit and they are charged with ex acting "unreasonable, extortionate, dii criminatory and unjust rates on oil kinds of goods in state and interstate business." The complaint alleges that conditions in Kansas are not different from that in the boardering states of Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas except that there are no large cities here where the defendants have to ex pend large sums for terminal facilities, but the volume and nature of this business in Kansas is the same as in the states named, yet Kansans are charged from ten to fifty per cent more for transportation of their express than are the citizens of these other states. It is further alleged that "for pur poses of deception" the defendants had published a schedule of interstate rates for Kansas and these other states but this schedule is operative only in Kan sas, the other states enjoying cheaper rates than the schedule. The complaint goes right deeply into the mater of the business of these ex press companies when it alleges that they "have made improvident contracts with the railroad companies as an ex cuse for imposing high rates on Kan sas, and that these express companies are owned by the railroads." That these defendants (the express companies) "dissipate their earnings in large salaries, attorney's fees and legis lative lobbies and under this pretense of large expense impose extortionate rates upon the state of Kansas. That the management and conduct of their business does not involve a laree amount of capital and consists mostly of contracts and privileges and only a small proportion of their cap ital is invested in their business, the larger proportion being involved and invested in loans, bank and railroad stocks and mortgages. That the defendants had refused to furnish the board with copies of their schedule of rates. That the charges in Kansas are not based on the distance carried or the amount of the service rendered, but based al ways on the particular case as applied to the article in question. Accompanying the complaint are several tables of rates in Kansas and bordering states and comparisons are made between them. These tables show that a charge of $1 is made in Kansas for carrying 100 pounds on an eighty-mile haul while in Nebraska the charge is only 60 cetn.s in Texas 50 cents. Nebraska 56 cents, Iowa 70 cents, Oklahoma 60 cents. On the 100-mile haul Kansas, $1.00 to $1.25: Missouri. 70 cents; Texas, 55 cents; Nebraska, 75 cents; Iowa, 75 cents; Oklahoma, 70 cents. On the 300-mile haul Kansas, $2 to $2.50: Missouri. $1.45; Texas, 95 cents; Nebraka. $1.50; Iowa, $1.40; Oklahoma, $1.40. These tables show discrimination in rates between neighboring towns in Kansas to be something to marvel at, of which the following samples offer a chance for comparison: Newton to Marion, distance 38 miles, charge. $1.50; Newton to Der by, distance 38 miles, charges, 50 cents. Hutchinson to Canton, distance 41 miles, charges. 50 cents; Hutchinson to Preston, distance 40 miles, charges, $1.50. It is the plan of the attorney for the railroad board to have the cream rate injunction case now in the Shaw nee district court, delayed until the board takes action in this matter of a sweeping reduction in rates, as the success of this case will give the creameries the relief prayed for. Mr. Dawron first got the idea of this tuit ag&inst the express companies on the occasion of his visit to Nebraska ic the interest of the two cent fare suits. He found that Nebraska had Just secured a sweeping reduction in express rates. Looking further into the matter he found that Kansas was pay inw from 10 to 50 per cent more for transportation of express than any of the states on her borders. The convplaint concludes as follows: "Wherefore, Tour complaints prays that the whole system of rate making on intrastate express business within the state of Kansas be modified; that a. new and uniform schedule and sys tem of rate making be prepared and put into force and effect upon all intra state express shipments within the elate of Kansas, said schedule and sys tem of rates having for its basis the distance the goods are carried, and the service rendered in the carriage there of; and that an absolute and substan tial reduction be made upon all ex press rates on Intrastate business with- 0 Reward. a To anv man that can buv $5.00 Pants the kind that we will sell Tuesday for $1.98 a Pair See Display (ff?pJVf7f See Display IN Street Case U 622 Great Interest in Coming Rivers and Harbors Congress.

The long looked for ball game be tween the preachers and the lawyers came off at the Cooley lot Saturday afternoon and after almost three hours of hits, errors, runs and beauti ful playing, the ministers trotted off the field with a total of 20 runs and the lawyers followed in their wake with 18. There is a big scrap scheduled for today between the lawyers and Chief of Police Eaton. The distributors of the law claim that Eaton robbed them of the game and that he allow ed his Sunday school training to bend him in favor of the preachers. The lawyers say that the big chief "throwed" the game and in spite of their continued efforts he was "crook ed." As a result the chief has guards around his sanctum at the Eaton Castle today and no one -will be al lowed to enter without the password. The preachers say that Chief Eaton is the best umpire they have ever wit nessed and they see lots of them be ing enthusiasts of the pedigree sort. But despite the wrangling and the after-effect the preachers won the game and the score will go down on the records even If the umpire did favor the prohibition factions. The preachers made 13 hits and from them netted their 20 runs. There were several other hits that were giv en as errors in order to even up the game. The lawyers came a close sec ond with 12 hits likewise a distribu tion of the spoils In order to fatten the batting averages. Cool in summer, warm in winter.

Atlee of Chicago were married Monday, September 6, at the home of the bride's parents. Mr. and .Mrs. vv. C. Ilette, in Fort Madison, Iowa, and have gone to Chicago where they will be at home. The flette family for merly lived here and Mrs. Atlee has kept up her friendship with Topeka people through frequent visits to her sister, Mrs. Joseph E. Morgan, tone is an uncommonly attractive young woman and the news of her marriage will interest many friends in Topeka. Mrs. Thomas Stevens gave a lunch eon at her house, 1262 Fillmore street, today for Misses Nellie and Louise Kaster, who will leave aSturday for Boston to take a course in the faim mons school of domestic science. Tho others asked were Mrs. S. R. Tuttle, Miss Vivian Tuttle, Miss Lulu Healy of Los Angeles and Miss Daisy Neil: The following account of a wedding, from the Los Angeles Times, is of in terest in Topeka because the bride groom, Mr. George H. Kelch, once lived in Topeka: As a surprise to their firends will come the news of the wedding yesterday of Miss Margaret M. Maxwell, daughter or Mrs. A. j. Maxwell of No. 1236 Crown Hill ave nue, and George H. Kelch, a young attorney or this city, who nas been as sociated for the past two years with the Arm of Borden Carhart. Mr. Kelch served in Battery G, Third U. S. artillery, In the Philippines, and was promoted to second lieutenant of in fantry for gallantry in service. He is a graduate of the University of South era California Law school and well known in this city. Miss Maxwell is a talented young woman with a pleasing personality. The service was quietly solemnized In the First Unitarian church. Rev. E. S. Hodgin officiating, The bride wore a blue tailored suit with hat to match. Mr. and Mrs. Kelch will spend their honeymoon at Conorado and will receive their friends after August 1 at No. 6004 Hays ave nue. Highland Park. This design is a preity Idea for de veloping in the clinging materials, either the soft silks or wool goods. The gown has the normal waist line with the corselet heavily embroidered la silk soutache. Beneath this corselet tha waist is fulled across the shoulders and the entire length of the sleeve the bodice and sleeves being In one. On either side of the skirt front and from below the corselet fall two soft sash ends of the material, finished with tassels in self tone. Around the skirt hem and mounting to a point In the front is a design in soutache corre sponding to the bodice trimming. Mr. Mike Murray will leave Topeka next week for Omaha to take the posi tion of manager of the shoe depart ment of the Bennett department store. He goes next Sunday and will be fol lowed by the sincere regrets of .the many people with whom he has made good In his three or four years resi dence in Topeka. There was never a chap who could make more friends than Mike Murray or retain them longer. As you might suspect, from his name, he is Irish, and has the ready wit and "mixing" proclivities of his race, and some of the authorities say he is the best looking man in town in evening clohes. But better still he has the tact and consideration which usually go with older heads, is Invari ably, courteous and appreciatve of favors, and was never known to knock cn anybody. In short, he is the sort of man, who, when he is a little older, will be expected to spend most of his time as an usher at weddings or a pall bearer at funerals and this danger of too much popularity is the only thing that threatens his succes, for he has all the qualities of the man who ar rives. A pretty model for a long coat is given above. This might be used either as a coat of silk or pongee, and worn over "dressy" gowns; or, if de veveloped in more serviceable ma terials, prove excellent for all around usefulness, such as traveling wear or the like.
